The Gaelic Maundeville (Author: John Maundeville)

paragraph 242

A daughter of Magnus Khan's is the wife of Prester John, and a daughter of his is married to Magnus Khan. The precious stones of this country are abundant, and so large are they that men make of them dishes and cups and many other things. The king himself is Christian, and so is the greater part of his country. Howbeit they have not every article of the faith as we have it. They believe well in the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and they are faithful and devout, and great is their love for cattle.
